A STAUNToN BoY.-The LynchHurg
Vuginian has the following tribute to a
gentleman who is native of Stanton.
but who has been for number of years q
successful business man of LyEchburg-
the owner of the. Lone Jack trade
mark. He is the father of Mrs. Charles
w. Miller, Of his place, and cousin Of
Mrs. J. Fl. Waters
Mr.. John W. Carroll has been a member of
the City Council since 1863, and has been presi-
dent of that body for fifteen years. During all
tho time of his incumbency he has been absent
from Dut one meeting. and that was called
meeting when he was absent from the city. In
all his decisions he has never been reversed
But one appeal from his rulings has been tax en-
and that was not sustained. This is certainly
4 good record, and would doubtless take the
belt i'll 81 competitive test of presiding officers.
We hope there are more terms in store for
Mr. Carroll. What better could the new council
experience. familiarity with all the rules and
routine o. proceedings, enjoys the entire conf
dence of the community, and has the substan-
tal weight and large Interest in the welfare of
the city which it is best for the incumbent Of
the Office to possess.
In this matter it will be the right and proper
thing to sink class and politics out of sight aud
Carroll was elected on two tickets, and is there
fore not so much n representative of party as
he is of other interests. The incoming council
will make q good start, and one which will
commend it to the community, if it re-elects
the present true and tried president

1t was liberali Y advertised that an i'm
+ posing National Convention was to assem-
BILE in indianapolis, on June ist, to be
composed of eolored Delegates from all
parts of the Nation. to consider the rela=-
| tions of that people to the two political
parties. and to formulate a line Of conduct
independent of both. 1t was asuggestion
and movement to subServe the plans and
plots of the Democratic party, and Demo
cratic papers were earnest in commenting
the proposition and urging large attend
ance upon the Convention. The time
came for the meeting, but there were but
| few delegates to make up the Convention,
so those present adjourned it over, after
passing q resolution calling q convention
| in June next. OF course the Democratic
papers are not pleased. SO they give it ont
! that Republicans wrote letters to the va
rious States to prevent an attendance,
| when they know that there is nothing to
| Justify leh charge. The colored people
have moved out Gf the leading strings OF
politicians of either party and are doing a
| large amount of thinking for themselves.
They know that all the respect the Dehae-
cratic politicians have for the colored yO-
ters has 0een whipped into them. They see
tn 1t public sentiment n orth and South is
demanding a far election and honest count
and that with this assured the.elect0ral vote
of some of the Southern States will be Civ
en- to the Republican candidate.in 1883, if
the colored vote is not denied. Their pur-
pose IN this indianapolis movement was
to inaugurate plans looking to that end.
And now that it has failed, they resort to
false statements as to the cause of
the failure The true inWardness Of
the collapse of the plan may he found
in the intelligence of the colored people
themselves. They have learned enough
not to be be MADE dupes of Democrat
ic marpiGts and have the independence and
courage to act apon their convictions.
That is about all OF il.

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina or seeing
portion of the eye is fatigued, but such
is not the case, as the retina hardly ever
gets tired. The fatigue is in the inner
and other muscles attached to the eyeball
and the muscle of accommodation, which
surrounds the lens of the y e. When a
near object is to be looked at this muscle
relaxes and allows the lens to thicken, in
creasing its retroactive power. The inner
and outer muscles are used in covering
the eye on the object to be looked at, the
inner one being especially used when a
near object is looked at. 1t is in the
three muscles mentioned that the fatigue
is felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes or gazing at far dis
tant objects. The usual indication of
strain is redness of the rim of the eyelid,
betokening a congested state of the inner
surface, accompanied with some pain.
Sometimes this WEAKNESS indicates the
need of glasses rightly adapted to the
person, and in other cases the true rem-
edy is to massage the eye and its sur
roundings as far as may be with the hand
wet in cold water.-Herald of Health.

When Andrew D. White was a student
in Germany he attended the lectures Of
Won Iianke, the historian. In a recent
article Mr.. White says of Ranke: He
had q habit of becoming SO absorbed in
his subject us to slip down in his chair,
holding his finger up toward the ceiling,
and then, with his eyes fastened on the
tip of it, go %mumbling through a kind of
rhapsody, which most of my German
fellow students confessed they could not
understand. II was a comical sight
half n dozen students crowding around
his desk listening to the professor as
priests might listen to the sibyl on her
tripod, the other students being scattered
through the room in various stages of
encouragement. New York Sun.

South is said to be in the interest Of his
presidential aspirations. When he was
secretary of the treasury and thus had ON
troll of many useful government officials in
that quarter Mr.. Sherman succeeded in
corraling a large assortment of negro and

Northern friends to stand up to the scratch
caused his defeat. The fact chat he is

The peace which Bismarck proposes
to preserve with force is a peculiar condi-
tion of affairs. 1t does not mean the alb
senco of contention, rivalry, greed for ter
%ritorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT and other causes

does not mean amity and friendship. 1t
simply means a suspension of hostilities

that if peace is to be broken. Germany

AN Iowa court ordered that some hard
cider which had been submitted as evil

chemist was that it contained more alcohol
than cider. A movement against cider is,
therefore. to be i%naugurated. and the
farmer who has been making his own tip
